Also remember a Ranger can step in and off tank if the enchanter runs oom and cant CC (bards can mez i suppose) Ranger can snare so no runners (this way the druid doesn't have to) Rangers can do very minor spot healing if they need to. Ranger can also use Snare Kiting and root to CC if you need to...
Bards will be better pullers and when shit hits the fan you can always AOE MEZ (until lvl 35 anyway).
As a Ranger you wont have to destroy your wrist and finger twisting songs.....
both have 40% XP penalty so that doesn't matter.
If you are started from zero a ranger will be easier to buy gear for, everyone has a bard alt to swarm kite so gear prices are a tad higher.
